If they were still in Africa, they would be living with famine, tribal wars, disease and living in huts. Yeah America has been so bad for them that even many of the poorest are obese like much of America because they have so much here. Sorry I think given the choice, very few would agree to return to Africa.

Funny, isn't it. I mean, who'd ever have thought that "African" so-called Americans would have elected a president whose Kenyan ancestors sold their ancestors into slavery? I guess they knew King Zero would have just enough white blood to transform into guilt. They want "reparations" (also known as "revenge") in the form of "work" (aka "government jobs") from Master Barack.

"Of course the way the slaves were treated was disgusting but these people have made a business of using history to get money for themselves rather than just getting busy like everyone else who decided to not be a victim."

I wouldn't mind so much if it was REAL history...for openers, the GD slave trade started before America was America and was entrenched before the revolution...let em go after the freaking Brits...and if there were as many millions of slaves brought here by ship as they contend (at an average of a couple hundred per ship) the boasts would still be landing...and it ain't like it was a cake walk for the Irish, either...that line from Blazing Saddles was no joke..."but we won't take the Irish" was no shite...but I don't know any "Irish Americans" looking for a handout.

There is no place for the hyphen in our citizenship... We are a nation, not a hodge-podge of foreign nationalities. We are a people, and not a polyglot boarding house. - "The Square Deal"

Hussein’s made the first great crack in the dyke through this healthscam, he can now afford to turn his attention to the next avenue of wealth redistribution-reparations. In three years we won’t know what hit us.

I’ve read that 0 is white, Arab and African in that order.

Internet-based Urban Legend. Barack Obama Sr. was a Luo, a black African tribe not known to mix with Arab traders on the coast. Our President is indeed 50% black.

They’ve already gotten their reparations by sucking the blood of taxpayers for decades while we can’t say a word about it or do a thing about it, not one damn dime more!!!!!!

According to Time magazine:

“Ever since 1953, there have been at least two Blacks out of work for every jobless White.”

The author really shouldn't rely on Time magazine for facts -- it's not their specialty. And this claim is absolute, unmitigated and obvious bunk!

The total work force is approximately 150 million. Blacks are roughly 13% of the total -- 19.5 million. If, as the article states, 16% of them are unemployed, that amounts to 3.1 million unemployed blacks.

Whites amount to roughly 75% of the total -- 112.5 million. With a 10% unemployment rate, that translates to 11.2 million unemployed whites.

So, instead of "two blacks out of work for every white" there are actually "almost four whites out of work for every black."

Shut your racist mouth and sit down, Shabazz.

As a Polish and Italian American, I believe that I, along with other Slavic, Med, and Latin Americans should sue the Irish Americans for treating us like sh-t and discriminating against us in jobs and housing. It wasn't the WASPs who were the elite in urban American when my ancestors came here. ;)

We had reparations, it was called the Civil War and the 1965 Civil Rights Act. Those who whine about reparations should realize that as they do so, East Asians, Indians, Latinos, and Middle Easterners are passing them over just as prior waves of Euros did.

Another conspiracy racist wacko, and from Chicago. Where else? Mayor Washington died of a heart attack, period. Another dead red as far as I’m concerned but I don’t think I would have wished him ill.

However, it was the Communist Party of Illinois/Chicago that helped put Washington into power. The CP and its orbit of supporters included David S. Canter, a registered Soviet agent for importing propaganda and identified member of the CPUSA; his friend and veteran CP-supporting leftist Don Rose (both were mentors of Obama’s top advisor David Axelrod, a possible red diaper baby).

Mayoral candidate Washington used to have meetings in the home of the late David Canter to plan his political career and campaign. Other leftists with documented tied to the CPUSA, the present Democratic Socialists of America (a marxist rival of the CPUSA), the Committee of Correspondence (a CPUSA break away faction from 1991), and Progressives for Obama included Alice Palmer, Timuel Black, Rep. Danny Davis, Rep. Bobby Rush, Bill “Weatherman” Ayers and his terrorist wife Bernadine Dohrn, identifed CPUSA member Quentin Young, the father of the national healthcare program (and key friend of Obie’s), and the late Milton Cohen, former CPUSA, who along with Young, joined the DSA.

And the list goes on folks. Got to www.newzeal.blogspot.com to see all the documentation.

I liked the part about sending them to Africa. I do think that is a good idea. And I don’t mean that in a racist way. But the rest of what this guys says is racist as hell. Still blaming the white man.

Homey don't do "specific" - EVAHHHHH!
He only does nebulous, vapid, polysyllabic platitudes, and Marxist hyperbole.

“I often ask people who say Blacks shouldn’t get special treatment, but how many slaves volunteered to come to America and build it for free?”

I hope you jest in your question. If not, how many of present day white America was alive when slavery took place? How many blacks were sold into slavery by their very own black race? How many billions more dollars are we going to spend on people that simply do not want to help themselves (black and white).

They were brought here for farm labor. Look at mexicans. TODAY as farm labor they they end up with diddly squat barely able to make ends meet... at least the Africans had accommodation and food...

Also, it wasnt only blacks that were slaves. There were whites too...indentured whites.

The greater problem I have is every african is tailgating on this Reparations thing whether their family were or were not involved. They all want reparations.

Blacks in Africa? All something for nothing people.
